I have a hearing loss, which is not unexpected at 65 after a lifetime of using lawn mowers, chain saws, power tools & shotguns, without hearing protection. While I use ear muffs at the range, I have never used any ear protection while deer hunting, figuring a shot or two won't affect me. However, there are some articles on the net stating even one loud rifle shot can cause permanent damage. Do you wear hearing protection while deer hunting, if so, what kind?
